thanks alot never been able to contact him but i hear him alot in Indiana,usally on the weekend only as im guessing he is running alot of power becuase he will smash anyone around here within my receive range..there is also a guy in Maryland called Stickman that has one clean sounding setup..i have talked to him from my mobile
When conditions ( propagation) is good it does not take a lot of power to make a huge signal.
there is an op in Jamaica who uses six co phased delta loops for 11 meters.
He screams into the SE part of the US, using 25 watts on lsb.
that old tram he runs sure does sound good.

I have talked to him a few times.....he is using a Tram D201 with a astatic echomax 2000.....and some type of big tube linear and quite a ways above sea level.
He has awesome audio and he never raises his voice....very soft spoken...which is rare on cb band....he has one of the best sounding stations that I have heard in all my yrs on 11 meters.
I run the same set up but do not run power...so I am a good sounding mud duck.....cannot run power in this sub division....bad enuff barefoot.....everytime someones tv messes up its the evil guy with the big tower.

Eastsides posting is dead on.My tagteam partner and a great guy.Go to his house often.Definately a good radio operator that talks no smack.I'll just ad that he's using an I-10k GP and he lives in a valley with a big hill in front of him and a big hill behind him.If you saw where he lived youd scratch your head and wonder how its possible.I know I do.

The Tram D-201 was well ahead of its time when it came out in 1974. To this day there has NEVER been a CB made with a more powerful modulator stage. Some may argue this but the topic is not even open for debate. Find me one other 11 meter radio that used a 25 watt audio stage? Nothing else ever came close to the headroom this rig had in the modulator stage. Tram didn't get away with it too long either. By the time the D-201A hit the market in 1976 the FCC was all over them. They were forced to chuck 10 ohm resistors in the cathode returns for the final and modulator. The 6L6GC final tube was downgraded to a much smaller tube and so was the power transformer.
thanks for all the reply's.. i will keep trying to make the contact with him im sure one day conditions will allow it to happen.. untill then i'll be STROLLIN-STROLLIN-STROLLIN on my fisherprice radio...LOL thanks again
